Linear Interpolation
– Linear Interpolation consists of any programmed points linked
together by straight lines, whether the points are close together or
far apart.
– Curves can be produced with linear interpolation by breaking
them into short, straight-line segments.
Interpolation
Circular Interpolation
– The development of MCUs capable of circular interpolation has
greatly simplified the process of programming arcs and circles.
– To program an arc, the MCU requires only the coordinate
positions (the XY axes) of the circle center, the radius of the circle,
the start point, and end point of the arc being cut, and the
direction in which the arc is to be cut (clockwise or
counterclockwise).
– The information required may vary with different MCUs.
Interpolation
Helical Interpolation
– Combines circular and linear motion.
